+Penfolio Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) How about using a pelican case? Available in allsorts of sizes and for caching purposes, pretty much bombproof. e.g. http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1020 Edited March 28, 2010 by Penfolio Quote Link to comment

+HouseOfDragons Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 you could track down the (very few) underwater caches already in the UK and ask the owners what they used. Quote Link to comment
GermanSailor Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Has anyone any ideas where to buy / adapt / make a container suitable for underwater cache? How deep? What about a normal ammo can? Those PET Preforms are watertight as well. GermanSailor Quote Link to comment
+Penfolio Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) How about using a thermos flask? Or, maybe take a look into gas or water fittings and fixtures. Submersible junction boxes, stuff like that. Or, take a look at 'Otterboxes'. Edited March 28, 2010 by Penfolio Quote Link to comment
+purplywurply Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks for the ideas folks. I like the home made ideas.... It won't be very deep - waist deep max. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 What size? I have found an underwater cache made from a U bend plastic pipework. If it's made to keep water IN, it should keep water OUT! So long as it's closed properly! There's also the problem of weighting it to sink... Quote Link to comment
